AI Thread Summary
For a filter column with a 315mm outside diameter and 3m length, standard PVC flanges are recommended due to the low pressure involved. The number and size of bolts depend on the specific design and load requirements, but using standard bolts for PVC flanges is advisable. It's important to include gaskets for a proper seal, especially with wire mesh between flanges. If custom design is pursued, understanding the expected loads and pressures is crucial for accurate analysis. Proper selection of materials and components will ensure the integrity of the filter column assembly.

Hello everyone.

I really in dire need of your help as i am not a mechanical engineer, so at this stage i am busy finding out the right design of PVC flanges for a filter column.
But the thing is
How to choose the right bolts ? i mean how many bolts should i have for my flanges and what size of bolts..

What i can tell u is my filter column is 315mm outside diameter and 3 m length and the filter is of 3 sections and i need to connect these sections by grey PVC flanges..and i will put a wire mesh between the flanges

by the way, the filter column is a clear PVC

So please how can i start with ?

Try to help me

Best regards

Since it's PVC, it has to be relatively low pressure. Just use standard PVC flanges and the respective bolts and gaskets. That would be the easiest. If you want to design your own, you need to know the expected loads and pressures before starting an analysis.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
